Fraser

[sedgwolf1980]

Let’s be real, bringing him on was a statement, he’s way off if, but we have zero options.

I’m more than happy with this season but **** me GON has dug Fosun out a hole here. Our depth is pitiful.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

He did as much as the others diddly squat. Came too deep but we couldn’t get the ball moving quick enough hard to blame any forward players today

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

Amazing how we still are discussing lack of a striker over 3 years since Jimenez had his injury. Disgraceful really.

 

[StaffordWolf]

Didn't really get a chance to show anything, no one put a decent ball to him!

 

[sc91]

Oh wolves lost then.

 

[greenwolf1301]

I can't put any blame on him. He's a kid but the only positive I can say for him is when we play longer the ball does stick with him. If bellegarde is there it always comes back. It's too much for him too soon but we have no alternative atm. Just play him this year get him out on loan next year and see where we are then.

 

[Dorbelflunk]

He's not there yet. Think he would have been sent on loan if the January moves had come through. Will be make it? Too early to tell

 

[Longford Wolf]

He looks way off it at this moment in time. Can’t fault the lads effort , but no way is he ready to start in the premier league.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Jesus wept. Let’s not start this now.

Hwang is back. He could have been in the squad but he wasn’t. Had he been available, then I think we would have had options today.

 

[sedgwolf1980]

I’m not blaming him for one second. I’m making the point that, for all the positives this season, it’s really, really poor we are having to bring him on at HT at this level.

Frustrating.

Is it really?

We tried, it didn't happen, end of, on GON yo make it work with what we have.

Move on, touch grass and enjoy the evening.

 

[Stourport wolf]

Don't win and crucify a few players. ****s me off more than losing the game.

It was a bad day at the office. It happens.

 

[Super NES]

Not too sure what he people are expecting from the kid - won a few headers and the ball generally stuck with him in the few instances he recieved it.

The general frustration of letting go of 2 strikers and bringing nobody in I understand - but nothing to do with Fraser himself. Remember, he scored past the same team a few weeks back.

 

[sedgwolf1980]

I’m not crucyfing anyone ffs. I’m making the point that a team in 10th in the premier league, really shouldn’t be bringing on Tetenhall u19 striker should they. It’s frustrating…so near yet so far etc….

 

[Bostin]

I thought he did ok tbh. His hold up play way good and won a few flick ons

Hard to get space for a chance when they are defending deep and packing the midfield

 

[Longford Wolf]

Don’t think anyone is crucifying Fraser, just observing that he his nowhere near ready for the first team. It really shows up the lack of options.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Would Fabio or Sasa made an impact today? No we was dreadful.

Fraser is what 18/19 can’t expect miracles

 

[WV10Wolf]

He scored against them 3 weeks ago and he was mustard. Short memories and all that.

 

[CelebrityWolf]

Not sure what the point of this thread really is?

He isn't ready, that became obvious today. No biggy, season is already done bar the FA Cup despite some kidding themselves it isn't. He will learn from these bits and pieces of games.

 

[bod101]

Let him play as bloody striker, we'll just ruin him expecting him to play some weird forward winger/role

 

[Matt]

It wasn’t a statement, it’s just that he’s the only option we have. He would be playing for Shrewsbury had we got a striker in, that’s the kind of level he’s at in his development so we can’t really expect anything from him other than to give his all, which he did.

He should be playing regular football on loan, we let him down by not getting a striker in but I’m glad that we actually chucked him on at least.

 

[JOSWolf]

Should be a thread about Shi rather than young Nathan and Shi's inability to secure a striker over window after window. Yes we were limited in budget but the fact we tried a last minute move for the lad from Brazil proved money was there and should have found a striker somewhere in world football during January to help us out rather than last minute chases for a striker. Not Nathan's fault at all and good luck to him.

 

[wolvesjoe]

No surprises that he is not ready.

Shame on Fosun.

 

[Skrilla]

I thought he played well. Hold up play was excellent. Not his fault we lost.

 

[S G Wolves]

He was ok...

Pointless bashing every player when we lose..

 

[WV10Wolf]

He was ok...

Pointless bashing every player when we lose..

Especially someone out the academy. **** me, even Robbie Keane had the odd bad game.

Anyone that doesn’t under that academy players moving into senior football will blow hot and cold can’t have been watching football for very long.

 

[Jeru360]

I thought he did okay. He was running in to channels and held the ball up a bit. He’s young. I’m glad he got on and saw some minutes.

 

[JOSWolf]

He is learning his trade in the toughest league in the world and did ok today. As I said earlier in the thread. Questions should be asked of our lack of recruitment in January to Mr Shi and not about Nathan.

 

[Madmalc]

He played well, didn't give the ball away, made some good passes.

We could have played Harry Kane up front today and still not scored. No point having anyone in the middle if the ball isn't being sent there.

It might be interesting next season if the blue 10 minute sin bin card gets adopted.

From today's game Brentford would have been down to 10 or even 9 players at times.

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

I think bigger questions have to be asked when it is bellegarde being pushed into the role. Giving a kid who didn't do badly a chance ain't that bad. One of Fabio and Sasa should still be here.

 

[Woodsetton Wolf]

How many cognacs you had since I left @sedgwolf1980

I get what your saying but like someone has posted earlier not the kids fault, it’s Fosuns short falls and bad buys over the years that have left us with such baron striking options

 

[Fenrir_]

Said before but if there was a possibility that we might not bring in a forward in January, we really needed to keep one of Silva or Kalajdzic involved in the team rather than freezing them out. They're both miles ahead of where Fraser is at the moment, it's not a slight on Fraser, he's still a kid and no judgement should be cast on him right now, but him being required is more a slight on everyone in charge of the team/squad from Shi to Hobbs to O'Neil

Sasa and Silva ain't making a blind bit of difference today. Fraser got literally no service whatsoever. Today was a classic wolves game, can't breakdown a team who stick 11 men behind the ball.

I suspect we will look a different team against spurs next weekend who will come at us and throw men forward.

 

[UEAwolf]

It was the kind of game that had we brought prime era Jimenez on, with Neves replacing Gomes, we’d have still lost.

We’ll end up beating spurs away now.

Didn't say they were and that isn't the gist of the thread. It's that we've left ourselves short and it's largely our own doing

 

[Poztin]

Can’t remember him doing much wrong?! Put himself about against much bigger defenders, winning a fair share of headers. Also made several good runs that Neto refused to play him in with.

 

[sedgwolf1980]

Ffs does it need spelling out, this thread about Fraser, it’s about calling out the fact we we are bringing him on at HT in the premier league. It’s absurb.

 

[Lincoln-Wolves86]

Not easy for any striker up against a deep sitting defence of Collins, Mee and Pinnock. But still thought he looked ok tbh

 

[Rhoswolf]

Disgusting thread best just close it
